3-Methyl-2-cyclopentenone Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

May be prepared by dehydrohalogenation of 2-chloro-l-methylcyclopentan-3-one.

Chemical Properties

1-Methyl-1-cyclopenten-3-one has a sweet-floral, warm-spicy and diffusive yet quite tenacious odor.

Chemical Properties

clear light yellow to yellow-brownish liquid

Occurrence

Reported found in roasted onion, cooked pork, black tea, soybean and dried bonito

Uses

3-Methyl-2-cyclopentenone was used in the synthesis of 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone.

Uses

It is an important raw material and intermediate used in Organic Synthesis, Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals.

Application

3-Methyl-2-cyclopentenone is used as an important intermediate in the production of various natural products and petrol additives[1].

Definition

ChEBI: 3-Methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one is a cyclic ketone.

Preparation

By dehydrohalogenation of 2-chloro-1-methyl-cyclopentan-3-one.

Synthesis Reference(s)

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 101, p. 494, 1979 DOI: 10.1021/ja00496a044

General Description

3-Methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one is a component of smoke flavoring.

Synthesis

3-Methyl-2-cyclopentenone (MCP) can be selectively synthesised via 2,5-hexanedione (HD) using a heterogeneous catalyst as a support. In a heterogeneous catalytic system, Bell et al. found that a Mg-Al-Ox catalyst, prepared by calcining MgAl hydrotalcite at 700 °C, achieved both a yield and selectivity of 98% when converting HD to MCP in a formaldehyde/water two-phase medium. In addition, the use of simple alumina-based solid acid catalysts, such as γ-Al₂O₃ and AlOOH, can achieve a selectivity of over 71% in the conversion of HD to MCP[1].
